The present application is a Continuation Application of PCT Application No. PCT/CN2021/087934 filed on Apr. 16, 2021, which claims the benefit of Chinese Patent Application No. 202110115158.3 filed on Jan. 28, 2021. The contents of the above are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present disclosure relates to the field of new materials, in particular to an A-site high-entropy nanometer metal oxide (Gd_(0.4)Er_(0.3)La_(0.4)Nd_(0.5)Y_(0.4))(Zr_(0.7), Sn_(0.8), V_(0.5))O₇ with high conductivity, and a preparation method thereof.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

When a metal material is applied to a high-voltage switchable connector, a conductive composite material is usually prepared by adding a reinforced phase of a metal oxide in order to improve the capability of a metal base to resist arc erosion. For example, SnO₂ is added to an Ag base or a Cu base to prepare a conductive metal composite material having good arc erosion resistance and good fusion welding resistance. However, the addition of a metal oxide also has a defect of causing a decrease of the conductivity of the composite material due to the low conductivity of the metal oxide itself, not satisfying an application requirement in the field of conduction.

An oxide of multiple rare-earth metals theoretically has better conductivity, and the better conductivity is mainly due to two aspects: firstly, crystal structure distortion results in the presence of a great number of oxygen vacancies, such that the oxide of multiple rare-earth metals has good electrical transport performance (the resistivity can reach as low as 103 μΩ·cm) in a wide temperature range; and secondly, a multielement synergy effect enables the oxide of multiple rare-earth metals to have a higher state density at a Fermi level of the material, so as to have better electronic conductivity.

A high-entropy oxide is a new material, and is composed of four or five or more major heterogeneous metal elements. The introduction of various types of metal elements brings about higher conformation entropy for the material, and the increase in the conformation entropy can give the material improved performance Introduction of a high-entropy concept into preparation of a metal oxide further improves the performance of the metal oxide. The high-entropy metal oxide contains more than five different elements, and can give the material larger structure distortion, thereby facilitating generation of oxygen vacancies. Moreover, introduction of various types of elements also facilitates improvement of the state density of the material at a Fermi surface, so as to realize better electronic conductivity.

However, an existing high-entropy oxide has low conductivity resulted from a microstructure design and a preparation method, and it is necessary to further improve the conductivity of the existing high-entropy oxide, so that the existing high-entropy oxide is adapted to using in more fields that need high conductivity, including being used for preparation of a conductive alloy, an electrical contact composite material, a conductive composite material, a multifunctional bio-based composite material, a conductive/antistatic composite coating and the like.

THE DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION PRINCIPLE

The high entropy in the present disclosure is a scientific definition, and generally refers to a compound in which four or five or more types of elements are located at the same chemical structure site. A high-entropy material has greater structure stability. Moreover, various types of heterogeneous elements and structure distortion brought about by the high entropy can enable the material to have greater designability, and a desired material characteristic can be obtained by adjusting types of elements.

The high-entropy oxide in the present disclosure is consisted of two types of octahedrons at different positions, i.e. an A-site octahedron and a B-site octahedron, and the molecular formula of the oxide is (Gd_(0.4)Er_(0.3)La_(0.4)Nd_(0.5)Y_(0.4))(Zr_(0.7), Sn_(0.8), V_(0.5)), where the elements located at the A-site octahedron include Gd, Er, La, Nd and Y, and the elements located at the B-site include Zr, Sn and V. The high-entropy metal oxide contains more than five different elements, and can give the material larger structure distortion, thereby facilitating generation of oxygen vacancies. Moreover, the introduction of various types of elements also facilitates improvement of the state density of the material at a Fermi surface, and the introduction of elements at the A-site in the present disclosure enables d orbits between metal elements to overlap with each other to a greater extent, thus extremely expanding a state density distribution of the d orbits of the metal, thereby greatly improving the conductivity.

The present disclosure uses five types of ions of rare-earth metal element to form the A-site, and also uses three types of metal elements to occupy the B-site, so as to prepare a multi-element metal oxide system. In order to further realize uniform distribution of elements at the A-site, uniformity of initial precursor is improved by a method in which various types of processes (including fractional-precipitation reconstruction, electrochemical reconstruction and high-speed shearing reconstruction) are combined, so as to form, during high-temperature thermal treatment, a structure in which various elements at the A-site are uniformly distributed. As to the introduction of three types of metal elements at the B-site, it aims at adjusting the B-site, so as to reduce uniformity energy of elements at the A-site, thereby facilitating further uniformity of the various metal element ions at the A-site. The present invention improves the uniformity of the multi-element metal composite system, such that the system obtains a sufficient high entropy, thereby realizing the preparation of a high-entropy material.

In the present disclosure, five types of rare-earth metal elements are introduced to the A-site. Through theoretical calculation and design, the introduction of these five types of rare-earth metal elements enables the state density of the material at the Fermi level to be greatly increased, such that electrons in the system have a higher migration rate. Furthermore, due to introduction of a plurality of rare-earth metals at the A-site and three metals at the B-site, the material is formed with more structure distortion, thus bringing about higher ion conductivity. Therefore, an increase in both electron conductivity and ion conductivity brings about extremely great increase in conductivity of the material.

Compared with existing techniques, the present invention has the following beneficial effects.

1. The present disclosure provides a combined-process preparation procedure, which combines fractional-precipitation reconstruction, electrochemical reconstruction and high-speed shearing reconstruction, realizing distribution uniformity and micro morphology controllability (a square nanometer sheet) of metal element ions at the A-site and the B-site. Moreover, the extremely great increase in the state density at the Fermi level and larger structure distortion brought about by multi-element uniformity, improves the electron conductivity and the ion conductivity of the material, so as to obtain a non-metal material with high conductivity. The A-site high-entropy nanometer metal oxide obtained has high conductivity.

2. Compared with an existing high-entropy oxide, the product prepared in the present disclosure has high conductivity, and can be well applied to a conductive alloy, an electrical contact composite material, a conductive composite material, a multifunctional bio-based composite material, a conductive/antistatic composite coating and the like.
